The hardware was designed with two options to drop the battery voltage to a level, which can be fed to the ESP32: A voltage regulator or a simple diode.

A test with increased data rate (for a shorter test duration) resulted in a slightly better battery life using the voltage regulator.

Using a measurement interval of 30 seconds and a WiFi connection interval of 3 minutes, the 2500mAh LiIon (3.7V) battery lasted 30 days with the diode and 36 days using the voltage regulator.

Using a measurement interval of 30 seconds and a WiFi connection interval of 3 minutes, the 2500mAh LiIon (3.7V) battery lasted 30 days with the diode and 36 days using the voltage regulator.

|
In real-world application, a battery life of about 9 months can be expected (with good WLAN reception).

The selected voltage regulator has a quite low drop-out voltage and more importantly a low leaking current during the deep-sleep phases, which have a very low current needed by the ESP32.
